N DJAMENA (Reuters) - When Neldjibaye Madjissem graduated with a mathematics degree in 2015, he began searching for work as a school teacher.
Six years on, he is still looking - and is angry.
The 31-year-old blames Chad s government for lack of work, mismanagement of oil revenues and corruption. No wonder people are protesting on the streets in their thousands, he says.
The battlefield death of President Idriss Deby last week, after 30 years of autocratic rule, sent the Central African country into a tailspin.
A military council run by Deby s son, Mahamat Idriss Deby, seized power and promised to hold elections inside 18 months. Northern rebels rejected that and are fighting the army in the desert.
